I heard from a friend of mine from my old work you can install titanium gearing into an auto trans, but sounded clugy but interested me so wanted some feedback on this, thanks.

While I guess that would be theoretically possible, that much titanium would be prohibitively expensive (we're talking tens of thousands of dollars) and wouldn't actually do anything for strength. Pure titanium is only about as strong as steel, but it's much lighter.
Why would you want to strengthen an automatic transmission? I assume drag racing? Otherwise the E153 is a incredibly strong manual transmission, and it bolts right on. |

Mainly because its more precise shifting and swaps arent looking to be in my favor, and I had a feeling of as much with the titanium. Like I said, sounded cluegy. but are there parts in the auto trans that could be strengthened for if I wanted to lets say turbo on low boost? and how much can the auto withstand naturally out of the box? |
